IMPROVED OIL-OUP.'

lhe Srlgelmls rfsrr'ernr in these 3mm Entente@ making part nf ik: sam,

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN:

Be it known that I, SYLVESTEBL CEARNLBY, of Portage-City, in the county of Columbia, and State of Wiir i cousin, have invented a new and improved Oil-Cup; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, cleai:s and exact description thereof, which will enable thoseskilled 'in `the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention consists in so arranging avalvein an oil-cup that it can be raised by the motion of the part to which the cup is attached, andrclosed by its own gravi`ty,'so that the discharge of the olwill depend upon the rapidity of the motion up and down, as will hereinafter be more fully described.

YThe drawing (Figure 1) 'repr{esents 'a vertical central section yof an'l'oil-cup constructed according to my invention.

FignreZ represents'a crossfsectionthrough the linen: n s. y 4 Figure 3 is a view of the bottom end'of the valvefcage, showing the end of ',tlle valve-steml Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts; A is th'e c'up which screws into thevconn'ectiu-g-rod orjpitman off-an engine over rue journal, so 'that ir may have a rapid up-and-down-motion.

B is the valve-cage, which screws into the bottom of the cap, as seehlot c. vD is the4 valve, which has its seat in the cage, as seen at e.

The valve-stem is triangular'in form, as seen in g, 3, so that the apertures will allow the oil to descend. l

E is a regulating-screw, which works -through the top of the cage', and which Vcontrolsjifhe movement of the valve,

By turning this screw up or downgthe valve will he allowed to rise more or less, and consequently feed'the oil faster or slower. l

F'is a. valve, which is pressed upward against the inner side of the aperture in the cup by a spring, g.

Oil maybe introduced through this orifice by pressing down the valve,

By removing the cap of the cup J, thecage and valve may be readily taken from the cup. K

The valve D being dropped loosely into its seat,'will b e raised from its seat at every revolution of the crank or wheel to which the wrist-pin or-journal is attached.

The cup being attached to the connecting-rod over the wrist or journal, its motionwill he governed thereby, while the valve, being' loose in its scat, will be raised more or less at each revolution, and`oil will be'allewed to pass to the journal. 4 i V The quantity of oil thus distributed will depend upon the velocity of the motion and the amount of-movement allowed the val-ve.

I claim as new,- and desire to secure by Letters Patent- V t Y I 'lhe valve D, having a triangular stem, (as shown in iig. 3,) the rcgulatng-screw E, valve F, spring g, and cage B, when arranged -in an oilcup, substantially ns described, for'the purposes set forth. i
